Where personal change and professional growth meet through coaching

I work with individuals and organisations around the themes of change, identity, leadership and career.

“You ask all the right questions. Your approach is deeply person-centred. You didn't provide answers, but instead held space with care. Your reflections helped me gain insights and I felt safe exploring a very challenging season in my life.”

- Anneke Louw, Educational Psychologist

Our lives are fast, loud and pressured. My work is a temporary buffer that creates a space to think, to integrate change and to take ownership of your direction.

For Individuals

Relationships & Transitions Coaching

For those navigating shifts in life, relationships or both combined.

Coaching offers a space to explore how changes and connections shape one another, helping you move forward with intention and agency. 

Life & Identity Coaching

For those committed to doing life true to themselves. 

Coaching provides an opportunity to define who you are, or who you want to be, and to use that as your compass for choices and daily practices.

Accounting & Finance Career Coaching

For accounting and finance professionals who want coaching from someone who gets their world.

Career coaching for accountants offers a hiatus in your day: re-engage with focus and purpose. 

I offer coaching as virtual sessions, or as walk-and-talk sessions in the beautiful Braywick Nature Reserve in Maidenhead, Berkshire.

 

Together, we create the structure and space for you to design a life you choose to lead, aligned with yourself and attuned to the systems around you.

For Organisations

For organisations and leaders navigating change in complex systems.

I speak on topics that mirror my coaching ethos, you can explore these on my speaking page.  

 

I am currently designing a coaching programme to support teams through organisational change and offer this alongside leadership and career coaching.

If you'd like a version that leans more symbolic (e.g., referencing emotional intelligence, coaching presence, or identity), I can offer that too.

About Me

Coaching for transitions, identity and career.

I'm an ACA accountant and trained coach, drawing on both formal study and years of reflection and reading in personal growth, identity, wellbeing and meaning.

A curious listener, perceptive observer and inquisitive learner; I believe we can do more than the voices of our systems would have us believe, finding agency even within their limits.

FAQ

What is coaching? Coaching is a collaborative process where my role is to listen deeply, offer questions and respectful challenge, and invite you into new perspectives. Your role is to bring whatever feels most important: doubts, ideas, situations, patterns you want to shift, or decisions you’re navigating. Together we explore these with curiosity. Coaching is psychologically informed and non‑clinical. It draws on your strengths, lived experience, and values to support clearer choices and a more intentional future direction.

How do I know if coaching is right for me? People bring all sorts of things to coaching. Single sessions can be helpful for an isolated decision, preparing for a specific event, or making sense of a response you have noticed in yourself. Packages tend to be more supportive when you are looking for a thinking partner around something more nuanced or complex. Perhaps during a period of change, when you want to improve interactions in important relationships, explore who you are becoming or expand the impact you want to have in your world. Coaching is especially powerful when you feel ready to have another person walk alongside you, offering questions, listening closely and providing healthy challenge; so you can see familiar things in new ways.

What happens in a discovery call? A free 20‑minute conversation where we explore what matters to you, answer your questions, and see whether coaching with me feels like the right next step.

How is coaching different from therapy? The key distinction for me is that coaching does not view anything about you as a problem to be fixed. While some strands of therapy are also person‑centred, coaching tends to be more forward‑looking, giving you space to find the best way forward for yourself. I do not offer ready‑made solutions. I trust that you know yourself and your situation best. My role is to listen and offer questions, reflections, and tools that might support your process. Though we may reflect on the stories that shaped you, this will always be in service of where you want to go, always with your future in mind.

Do you offer face-to-face coaching? Most of my coaching takes place online, which offers flexibility, privacy, and a calm thinking space wherever you are. I am based in Maidenhead, Berkshire, and work with clients virtually across the UK and beyond. If online coaching does not suit your needs, I may consider face‑to‑face sessions in Maidenhead and the surrounding areas on a case‑by‑case basis. I also offer walk‑and‑talk sessions in Braywick Nature Reserve for those who prefer to think and talk while moving in nature. If you feel in‑person support might be more appropriate, you are welcome to enquire and we can explore it as an option.

Do you coach neurodivergent clients? I am neurodivergent myself and enjoy working with a wide range of clients, including those who are neurodivergent. I chose to train with Barefoot Coaching because their programme is grounded in different psychological approaches and tools, which supports me in seeing every client as a whole, competent human being. I have been coached by practitioners with different backgrounds - including coaches who specialise in neurodivergence and fellow Barefoot graduates - and I have found value in each approach. If you are neurodivergent and unsure if my approach is right for you at this moment, you are welcome to book a free 20-minute discovery call or email me with any questions.
